The Denver Post editorial boardâs assertion that Colorado Republicans have been stripped of âanyâ role in determining the Republican presidential nominee is flat-out false.

Precinct caucus goers will elect delegates to attend county assemblies, critical bodies that determine the composition of this yearâs state convention where national delegates will be awarded.

Given the presidential race could still be contested by the time the state convention convenes on April 9, the decisions caucus goers make on Tuesday could have an enormous impact on the state convention and the selection of national delegates.

Further, the process of running for county, state or national delegate is open to any Colorado Republican who wishes to make their voice heard.

While there is no straw poll this year, the Colorado Republican Party looks forward to a large turnout on Tuesday and fulfilling our important role in the nomination of a Republican presidential candidate.
